Chairperson Gondorchin opened the public hearing at 7:05 p.m. 1
2
City Planner Rothstein reviewed following the legalization of medical cannabis by the State of 3
Minnesota, the City of St. Anthony Village enacted a moratorium on February 24, 2015 4
prohibiting medical cannabis manufacturers and cannabis facilities within the city. The interim 5
ordinance directed the city to conduct a detailed study investigating the necessity of a Zoning 6
Code update and any prerequisites or considerations prior to an amendment of the City Code 7
regulating medical cannabis manufacturers and facilities. 8
9
The City’s completed study includes a review of the Minnesota state statute that prompted this 10
investigation as well as an overview of Federal cannabis law. Following an analysis of medical 11
cannabis within the context of existing City Zoning Code and the finding that significant land 12
uses within St. Anthony would be sensitive to medical cannabis manufacturing or dispensary as 13
well as the potential for emergent public safety concerns, the study recommends prohibiting all 14
cannabis facilities in the City. The full text of the study is included with the report. 15
16
A draft resolution would implement the recommendation of this study, amending the City’s 17
Zoning Code to reflect the findings and prohibit medical cannabis manufacture and facilities in 18
St. Anthony Village. 19
20
As proposed, the resolution would specifically do the following: 21
• Include a specific designation for Cannabis Facility (Marijuana Dispensary) as “an 22
establishment or business which cultivates, acquires, manufactures, possesses, prepares, 23
transfers, transports, supplies, or dispenses medical cannabis or any related supplies in 24
accordance with Minnesota Statutes.” (§152.008) 25
• Prohibit Cannabis Facilities in all zoning districts (§152.188) 26
• Include the provision clarifying that the revised Code does not preclude doctors from 27
writing legal cannabis prescriptions or patients from exercising their legal right to possess 28
or administer medical marijuana as per the law. 29
30
Staff recommends approval of the resolution amending Sections 152.008 and 152.188 of City 31
Code to prohibit medical cannabis facilities in all City districts. 32
33
Commissioner Lichty stated there is a sensitive land use within 1000 feet of any potential 34
location for a cannabis facility. He stated this is a reasonable buffer. 35
36
Commissioner Papatola stated he did some additional reading on this and stated in in different 37
states there are buffers of 250 – 1000 feet. He stated the study includes schools, daycares, 38
playgrounds, places of worship, etc. Commissioner Papatola asked if the interim ordinance came 39
before the Planning Commission. City Planner Rothstein stated she does not know the answer 40
but knows that it did not have to. 41
42
Commissioner Papatola asked why it is coming before the Planning Commission at this time and 43
City Planner Rothstein stated the proposal is located in the Zoning Code and the Planning 44
Commission should be the recommendation body. It is customary to hold the public hearing at 45
the Planning Commission. Commissioner Papatola stated there are some portions of the City 46
2
Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes
February 22, 2016
Page 3
where a cannabis facility could be located in some slivers of land in the City. He asked why in 1
light industrial, legal businesses under the State Statute would show preference to one type of 2
legal business over another. City Planner Rothstein stated legal non-conforming status may 3
prohibit a daycare from going within 1000 feet of a cannabis facility. It is an issue when 4
regulating businesses based on distance requirements and it is not ideal from a zoning 5
perspective. 6
7
Commissioner Papatola stated the report shows the City of Bloomington, which does not have a 8
dispensary. He asked if anyone in staff discussed this with St. Anthony Police Department. City 9
Planner Rothstein stated the study was discussed by all department heads she will get input from 10
the Police Department if desired. 11
12
Commissioner Foster stated he is relying on the report from the City Attorney. The report 13
indicates a buffer from any sensitive uses (not just schools). This is broader than just a buffer 14
from a school. 15
16
Commissioner Papatola stated if the 1000-foot buffer is in the State Statute and this would not 17
allow it anywhere in the City then the amendment would not be necessary. He does not believe 18
the buffer consideration is part of the State Statute but rather part of the City Attorney’s report. 19
City Planner Rothstein reviewed the portions of the State and Federal reports that shows 1000 20
feet of schools is prohibited. 21
22
Commissioner Lichty stated the Statute has reached its capacity in the two facilities within the 23
State. Those dispensaries are geographically important in that one in each district. Without a 24
change in State Law or dramatic change in business plan of two manufacturers within the State 25
there would be no chance that anyone would apply for a permit to build a dispensary in St. 26
Anthony. He feels this is irrelevant because of the 1000-foot buffer and also due to the 27
economics. He feels this is overboard. 28
29
Commissioner Westrick asked if the eight distribution centers have been established in the State 30
and have we already reached the cap in the State. City Planner Rothstein stated she does not 31
know. 32
33
Commissioner Lichty stated unless the current businesses look for another location the chance of 34
coming to St. Anthony is zero. 35
36
Commissioner Papatola stated he is concerned this is a bit of over reach. He understands the 37
concerns of Council and Staff. We are trying to address potential for emergent public safety 38
concerns, which is the motivation for this amendment. He contacted both facilities and stated 39
there have been no crime related calls. Commissioner Papatola intends to vote against the 40
resolution. 41
42
Chairperson Gondorchin closed the public hearing at 7:29 p.m. 43
44
Commissioner Kalar stated he is interested in Option 2 as he shares the same concerns with 45
Option 3. He suggested more data may be needed before a decision can be made. 46

Planning Commission Regular Meeting for June 27, 2016
WSB Project No. 02170-360
Request: Request for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow for a double-sided
dynamic display sign on the premises at 2727 Stinson Boulevard NE.
RECOMMENDATION
The application has been reviewed and appears to meet the requirements for issuance of a conditional
use permit. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the request for a conditional use permit to allow a
dynamic display sign on the property at 2727 Stinson Boulevard.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant: Church of St. Charles Borromeo
Owners: same as above
Location: 2727 Stinson Boulevard NE
Existing Land Use / Religious institution/ R-1 Single Family Residential
Zoning:
Surrounding Land North: Low density residential / Zoned R-1 Single Family Residential
Use / Zoning: East: Low density residential / Zoned R-1 Single Family Residential
South: Low density residential / Zoned R-1 Single Family Residential

Deadline for Agency Application Date: 05-27-16
Action: 60 Days: 07-26-16
Letter Sent: NA
120 Days: NA
CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO THE REQUEST
1. Background
The Church of St. Charles of Borromeo, located at 2727 Stinson Boulevard NE, wishes to construct a
monument sign with a double-sided electronic display in front of the school located on the premises
at 2727 Stinson Boulevard NE. The applicant had previously requested permission to construct such
a sign in 2014 through a text amendment to the City’s sign code, citing the desire to have a more
5
Page 2
visible presence in the community and to mirror the advertising techniques being used at Wilshire
Park and the high school. At that time, the city’s code prohibited electronic signs. The applicant’s
request for a text amendment was denied.
In December 2014, the City amended its sign code (§155) to allow for non-commercial “dynamic
display” signs in the R-1 Single Family district through the issuance of a conditional use permit. The
ordinance stipulates that the conditions with respect to the issuance of any Conditional Use Permit
for a Dynamic Display Sign shall cover at least the following:
(1) Aesthetics of the sign, including, but not limited to message color, construction materials,
and landscaping;
(2) Location of the sign with regard to the surrounding area; and
(3) Position/layout of the sign with regard to the surrounding area.
Additional specifications for dynamic display signs regarding placement, size of display and copy,
illumination, and message transitions are stipulated in §155.29 (DYNAMIC DISPLAYS). In light of the
amendments to the City sign ordinance, the applicant is again submitting a request to construct an
electronic display sign on the premises.
Design
The applicant has submitted design specifications from the sign manufacturer that indicate the sign
will be a monument sign design with a brick and block pedestal structure surrounding the electronic
portion. The total allowable square footage of sign area for a ground sign in this zoning district for
more than one business is 80 square feet. The maximum allowable square footage for dynamic
display is 28 square feet (35% of total allowable square footage).
The upper cabinet will contain a 10 square foot double-sided LED illuminated upper cabinet, which is
non-dynamic. The dynamic display component of the sign will have a 2’-9” x 7’-10” double-sided
Monochrome electronic display. The total square footage of the dynamic display area is 21.5 square
feet, which is under the maximum allowable.
The height of the proposed sign is 6.5 feet, which meets the requirements of a maximum of 8 feet.
The pedestal and base structure of the proposed sign is designed to match the materials of the
primary building. The base design includes landscaping components to enhance the appearance,
which is a required component of ground signs. There are no design elements that indicate an
external source of illumination on the sign.
Position and Layout
The required setback for a ground sign is 15 feet from the curb line of any public street, and must be
located entirely out of the right-of-way. The proposed sign will be constructed in front of the school
portion of the property, and appears to meet all applicable setbacks. A site plan has been requested.
A non-electronic ground sign already exists on the premises in front of the other building on the
property, the church, facing Stinson Boulevard near the intersection with St. Anthony Parkway.
Additional Sign Requirements
The applicant has not provided any details regarding the dynamic characteristics of the sign.
Elements to consider include the size of the sign text and display area, hours of sign illumination and
operation, brightness, the frequency of message transitions, and the prohibition of audio or video
functions. Size of copy (lettering) is required to be a minimum of 7 inches in height. The duration of
images and messages must be a minimum of 8 seconds. The transition between sequences must be
instantaneous and no video display is allowed. The messaging must be monochromatic. Brightness is
6
Page 3
restricted to 4,500 nits during the day, and 450 nits at night. Staff is requesting that written
certification from the sign manufacturer that light intensity has been preset to conform to these
brightness levels is required.
These requirements will be included as contingencies of approval because they are changeable
factors and will need to be verified upon construction.
2. Applicable Codes Relating to Conditional Uses.
Title XV Land Usage, Chapter 155 Zoning Code, Section 152.29 DYNAMIC DISPLAYS (C) Conditionally
Permitted Signs states that Dynamic Displays may be conditionally permitted “as free-standing
ground signs with the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit from the City Council only in the R1-
Single Family Residential District to display non-commercial or public service announcements when
displayed on the site of an approved public or quasi-public land use.” Dynamic Display Signs are
further required to “comply with the height, size, arrangement, set back, location, and other
applicable provisions of this Chapter and the district in which the sign is located.”
Further specifications and requirements for Dynamic Displays are laid out in Section 152.29, parts D
– Q.
Title XV Land Usage, Chapter 155 Zoning Code, Section 152.30 DISTRICT SCHEDULES (A.4) which
states that in Residential districts “each of the following may install and maintain 1 ground sign
subject to the provisions of § 155.01 on the property to which the sign pertains, with the exception
of a Dynamic Display Sign, which requires the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) as outlined
in § 155.29 herein: (a) Schools and publicly owned facilities listed; (b) Religious institution/place of
worship, and city buildings.”
3. Criteria for, and Consistency with, Criteria for Conditional Use Permit (CUP) Approval. Title XV
Land Usage, Chapter 152 Zoning Code, Section §152.243 CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS (C) Application
states that a conditional use permit may be granted only by a majority vote of all members of the
City Council after determining that:
1. The use is one of the conditional uses specifically listed for the district in which the property is
located;
The property at 2727 Stinson Blvd is zoned R-1 Single Family Residential. The R-1 District permits
signs as per the stipulations of the sign ordinance (§155). Within the §155, Dynamic Display
signs of a non-commercial nature are a permitted conditional use in the R-1 District. §152.30
Subd. A (4) states that schools and religious institutions may each install and maintain 1 ground
sign. Criterion met.
2. The City Council has specified all conditions which the City Council deems necessary to make the
use compatible with other uses in the area:
Conditions are introduced in this report and are included in the draft resolution for
consideration. Criterion met.
Conditions include:
1. Applicant will comply with dimensional setback requirements for ground sign placement,
which requires 15 feet from the curb line and submit a site plan indicating such setbacks.
2. Applicant will provide a written certification from the sign manufacturer that light intensity
has been preset to conform to the brightness levels established by the City’s code.
3. Applicant will conform to all of the sign operation requirements of the Dynamic Display
ordinance.
7
Page 4
3. The use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or
working in the vicinity or to the values of property in the vicinity; and
Surrounding land uses in the immediate vicinity are entirely comprised of single family
residential homes. The sign will be visible from either direction on Stinson Boulevard; it will not
be visible from the east of the premises because of building obstruction. The placement of the
sign in perpendicular fashion to the residents along Stinson Blvd, which is a wide, tree-lined
parkway, minimizes the exposure of neighboring residents to the sign’s dynamic and
illumination display.
The illumination of the sign may be a concern to nearby residents because of concerns about
glare or brightness, especially during evening hours; however, with the proposed conditions
outlined in the staff report and the resolution, the sign must be certified to conform with the
brightness standards outlined in the dynamic display ordinance and must be equipped with the
capacity to be dimmer or other mechanism that automatically controls sign brightness. Criterion
met.
4. The use will provide a service or a facility which is in the interest of public convenience and will
contribute to the general welfare.
Having a medium by which to display current and time-sensitive information is a reasonable
request from the applicant, and provides a benefit in that it replaces the need for temporary
signs that might be more unsightly. Additionally, electronic display signs are a use being adopted
by other area schools. Criterion met.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Request Additional Information and Continue the Public Hearing. It appears the Applicant has
provided all of the required information for the Planning Commission’s evaluation. Should the
Planning Commission request additional information from the Applicant, the Planning
Commission should continue the public hearing until a later time.
2. Recommend Approval of the Conditional Use Permit. Staff recommends approval of the
conditional use permit to allow the dynamic display sign at 2727 Stinson, subject to the
conditions listed in this staff report. The Planning Commission may refer to Exhibit C and may
modify the draft resolution for approval to include any conditions that it deems necessary.
3. Recommend Denial of the Conditional Use Permit. In the event the Planning Commission
chooses denial of the requested CUP, it should clearly state its reasons for the denial
recommendation and direct staff to prepare a resolution.

3701 Stinson Boulevard, known as “The Unofficial”. In 2015, The Unofficial was granted a
conditional use permit to allow for an establishment primarily for the sale of beverages for
29
Page 2
consumption. In the terms of a conditional use permit granted in 2015, The Unofficial was permitted
under the following stipulations:
1. All conditions stated in resolution 10-052 approving a conditional use permit for a
restaurant located within 250 feet of a residential structure or district shall remain in full
effect, which are:
a. Garbage areas must be enclosed with materials that match the building;
b. Lighting must be “down spill” with no spillage to affect the adjacent residential
properties;
c. No music or other artificial noise shall be audible from the restaurant to adjacent
residential properties;
d. The remodel and redevelopment of the property shall conform as closely as possible
and practicable to the Village at St. Anthony design standards and PUD documents.
2. The Applicant shall submit the appropriate plans and permits for review and approval
before beginning any construction or other alterations that requires a permit (i.e. building
permit for any interior work, sign permit, electrical permit, plumbing permit, etc.).
3. Outdoor seating associated with the restaurant use is not permitted with this Conditional
Use Permit (CUP). If outdoor seating is desired, an amendment to the CUP allowing a
restaurant within 250 feet of a residential district is required.
The proposed addition of 40 outdoor seats on the premises requires an amendment to the existing
CUP, which the applicant was made aware of at the time of CUP approval in 2015. The underlying
zoning for the property, within the greater Planned Unit Development, is Commercial, which allows
restaurants within 250 feet from a residential structure or district as a permitted conditional use.
The proposed outdoor seating area is located along the western side of the establishment that faces
Stinson Boulevard. The neighboring residential area within 250 feet is located to the east of the
property. The applicant has provided a site design sketch for the outdoor seating which shows that
the perimeter of the additional seating area will be located 10 feet from the property line. The
sketch confirms the addition of 10 outdoor tables for a total of 40 additional seats. The applicant has
stated that he intends to construct a standard 40” height railing around the perimeter of the
outdoor seating area.
SAC Determination
Due to the proposed additional seating at the establishment on the premises, applicant has applied
for a SAC Determination from the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services division.
Hours of Operation
Title XI Business Regulations, Chapter 111 Licenses, Permits, and the Like, Section §111.172 HOURS
OF OPERATION states that every recreational establishment within the city must be closed to the
public between the hours of 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. “Recreational Establishment” includes
restaurants. The hours of operation of The Unofficial are from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m.
Parking
The Applicant’s documentation shows that no existing parking spaces will be lost as a result of this
proposed outdoor seating area addition. The City’s parking ordinance requires that the number of
parking spaces for restaurants be equal to the total designed seating capacity of the structure
divided by 2.5, plus 1 parking space for each employee on the largest shift. The current number of
seats in the restaurant is 110, and an additional 40 seats puts total seating capacity at 150. The
30
Page 3
estimated number of employees on the largest shift is 15. Based on this information, a total of 75
parking spaces are required for the proposed use. There are at least 80 parking spaces on the
property, meeting the minimum required for the proposed restaurant.
Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan
The City of St. Anthony Village Comprehensive Plan (2008) guides the subject property for high
density residential on the Future Land Use Plan (Figure 2-5), which is identified as a change from the
Existing Land Use Map (Figure 2-1) which designates the property as currently being used for
commercial use. A Conditional Use Permit was approved for the property to allow for a restaurant
within 250 feet of a residential structure or district in 2010, following the adoption of the Future
Land Use Plan, and a CUP allowing a restaurant use was again approved in 2015.
2. Applicable Codes Relating to Conditional Uses.
Title XV Land Usage, Chapter 152 Zoning Code, Section §152.122 PERMITTED CONDITIONAL USES
(WITHIN THE C DISTRICT) (L) states that “Restaurants, cafeterias, and delicatessens located less than
250 feet from a residential structure or district” is permitted in the C District only by conditional use
permit issued by the City Council.
3. Criteria for, and Consistency with, Criteria for Conditional Use Permit (CUP) Approval. Title XV
Land Usage, Chapter 152 Zoning Code, Section §152.243 CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS (C) Application
states that a conditional use permit may be granted only by a majority vote of all members of the
City Council after determining that:
1. The use is one of the conditional uses specifically listed for the district in which the property is
located;
The property at 3701 Stinson Boulevard is zoned PUD with an underlying zoning of C-
Commercial, which allows “restaurants, cafeterias, and delicatessens located less than 250 feet
from a residential structure or district“ as a permitted conditional use, for which the property
has obtained the required CUP. Criterion met.
2. The City Council has specified all conditions which the City Council deems necessary to make the
use compatible with other uses in the area:
The addition of outdoor seating specifically requires a CUP amendment, as per the conditions of
the CUP granted in 2015. Conditions have been described in this report and are included in the
draft resolution for consideration. Criterion met.
Conditions include:
1. Previous conditions stated in resolution 10-052 approving a conditional use permit for a
restaurant located within 250 feet of a residential structure or district shall remain in full
effect, which are:
e. Garbage areas must be enclosed with materials that match the building;
f. Lighting must be “down spill” with no spillage to affect the adjacent residential
properties;
g. No music or other artificial noise shall be audible from the restaurant to adjacent
residential properties;
h. The remodel and redevelopment of the property shall conform as closely as possible
and practicable to the Village at St. Anthony design standards and PUD documents.
31
Page 4
2. The Applicant shall submit the appropriate plans and permits for review and approval
before beginning any construction or other alterations that requires a permit (i.e. building
permit for any interior work, sign permit, electrical permit, plumbing permit, etc.).
3. Outdoor seating associated with the restaurant use is allowed, provided the establishment
exercise significant efforts to reduce the likelihood of noisy or disruptive activities in the
outdoor seating area after 10:00 pm.
3. The use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or
working in the vicinity or to the values of property in the vicinity; and
Surrounding land uses in the immediate vicinity include undeveloped property to the north, high
density residential to the east, and commercial to the south located on the other side of the rail
road tracks. Property to the west, in the City of Columbia Heights, includes commercial and high
density residential. The site has been used as a restaurant in the past.
Having the business open until 1 a.m. may have an impact on noise associated with patrons
leaving the restaurant in the morning hours. The addition of outdoor seating will increase the
likelihood of noise later in the evening. However, the hours of operation and proposed
conditions are similar to those for the Village Pub, which is also within 250 feet of a residential
structure or zoning district and allows outdoor activities between up until 1:00am.
Currently, the design configuration of the outdoor seating area faces Stinson Boulevard,
buffered from the adjacent residential use by the primary structure of the establishment, a
parking lot and a road. These factors may reduce the probability of a noise concern during the
late night hours. Criterion met.
4. The use will provide a service or a facility which is in the interest of public convenience and will
contribute to the general welfare.
It is a common trend to include an aspect of outdoor seating and patio areas for restaurant uses.
Having an option to sit outside, especially in higher traffic areas, like on Stinson, would
contribute to the public benefit insomuch as they have options for dining and entertainment.
Criterion met.
CONCLUSION
The Applicant has applied for a CUP to add 40 outdoor seats to the establishment located at 3701
Stinson Boulevard. A 2015 CUP issued for the premises prohibited the addition of outdoor seating
without an additional CUP amendment for a restaurant located within 250 feet of a residential structure
of zoning district. The primary concern at that time was the propensity for noise at an establishment
allowed to operate until 1:00 am. Although noise remains a concern, the design sketch indicates that the
placement of the outdoor seating area along Stinson Boulevard at a maximum distance from the
neighboring residential structure to the east will reduce the likelihood of audibility and visibility
concerns. Additionally, the proposed environment is very similar to the operation at the Village Pub
establishment, also located within 250 feet of a residential area and which allows outdoor activities up
until 1:00 am in its outdoor seating area.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Request Additional Information and Continue the Public Hearing. It appears the Applicant has
provided all of the required information for the Planning Commission’s evaluation. Should the
Planning Commission request additional information from the Applicant, the Planning
Commission should continue the public hearing until a later time.
32

2. Recommend Approval of the Conditional Use Permit. In the event of a recommendation for
approval, the Planning Commission may refer to Exhibit C and may modify the draft resolution
for approval to include any conditions that it deems necessary.
3. Recommend Denial of the Conditional Use Permit. In the event the Planning Commission
chooses denial of the requested CUP, it should clearly state its reasons for the denial
recommendation and direct staff to prepare a resolution.

MEMORANDUM
To: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Mark Casey, City Manager
From: Breanne Rothstein, AICP, City Planner
Date: July 12, 2016 City Council Meeting
WSB Project No. 02170-250
Request: Consider Adopting Ordinance to Opt-Out of Minn. Stat § 462.3593, which
defines, permits and regulates temporary family health care dwellings.
OVERVIEW
On May 12, 2016, Governor Dayton signed into law the creation and regulation of temporary family
health care dwellings, codified at Minn. Stat. § 462.3593. The law establishes a permitting process
allowing landowners to place mobile residential dwellings on their property to serve as temporary
dwellings. The law intends to provide dwellings accommodating short-term care for family members in
need of assistance or close supervision. These temporary dwellings would be exempt from assisted living
regulation and subject to a specific permitting process.
The law also allows cities that do not wish to be subject to the requirements of the permit application
and process to pass an opt-out ordinance. Cities that do not elect to opt-out of § 462.3593 through an
ordinance will be subject to the requirements and procedures of the law beginning September 1, 2016.
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
There are sufficient practical and legal concerns regarding the terms of § 462.3593 to warrant the
adoption of an opt-out ordinance by Saint Anthony. The following concerns have been identified by
staff:
- Minn Stat. § 462.3593 requires that residents of temporary family health care dwellings
furnish medical information proving they have an eligible condition and proof of care. From a
legal perspective, this degree of regulation is arguably outside the purview of land use law or
zoning practice because it regulates the user of the dwelling unit and not merely the use.
Opting out will ensure that Saint Anthony does not subject itself to the questionable legality of
the statute.
- Requiring the submission of information from a caregiver and/or medical provider may
present HIPAA complications and require that the City collect information of a personal and
private nature. Opting out of Minn. Stat. § 462.3593 would avoid placing Saint Anthony in the
position of gathering and holding medical information in order to manage the permitting of the
temporary family health care dwellings.
- There are concerns that the law does not adequately confirm the temporary nature of these
dwellings. Although Minn Stat. § 462.3593 stipulates a six-month time limit on a temporary
53
Page 2
City Council
March 8, 2015
dwelling permit with the possible of one six-month extension, there is no language in the law
addressing appeal should the permit be revoked for non-compliance.
- Failing to opt-out means that the City loses its authority to regulate temporary dwellings of
this nature. The conditions of Minn Stat. § 462.3593 will supersede any existing regulation in
Saint Anthony’s city code, and ordinances regulating mobile homes or accessory units will not
apply. Minn Stat. § 462.3593 does defer to a city’s existing setback requirements and gives some
flexibility as to the permit fee charge, but if a city does not opt-out of the law by ordinance it will
have no authority to add additional requirements or stipulations.
By opting-out of Minn Stat. § 462.3593, Saint Anthony will retain maximum flexibility to address
temporary family health care dwellings in a manner that is more specific to the needs of the city. As
stated by Kao and Johnson in a League of Minnesota Cities 2016 law summary of § 462.3593, “An opt-
out ordinance is the correct step to take if a city either wants to use their existing land use controls or to
develop a customized version that might allow this sort of use in some cases using different processes or
criteria.1” Given the stated concerns regarding Minn Stat. § 462.3593, it is recommended that the City
opt-out of the statute and explore other options for regulation of temporary medical dwellings.
SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE
As proposed, the ordinance would specifically do the following:
• Serve as the official opt-out for the City of Saint Anthony from the terms and conditions of
Minnesota Stat. § 462.3593 which defines and regulates Temporary Family Health Care
Dwellings.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends approval of the enclosed ordinance to opt-out of Minn. Stat § 462.3593, which
defines, permits and regulates temporary family health care dwellings.
